The story ends with The Protagonist(s) traveling away into the distance, while the camera remains in a fixed position. Often symbolizes that the protagonist is leaving behind their old life and about to start a new one. May have a happy mood or a somber one, depending on how much they liked their old life and how willingly they're leaving it. In any case, it says that this is where they and the audience part company; whatever happens next, the audience will not get to see. This is often coupled with But Now I Must Go. A type of Hat-and-Coat Shot, and a Super-Trope to Riding into the Sunset. See also Moving-Away Ending, a subtrope that involves a character moving away from somewhere else. Compare Ending by Ascending, Door-Closes Ending, Chased Off into the Sunset. Contrast Fly-at-the-Camera Ending. As this is an Ending Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. Examples |

Floating Weeds by Yasujiro Ozu ends with a shot of Komajuro and Sumiko's train puffing off into the distance, as they leave the village for a different town in hopes of getting acting work, having reconciled. This film was a remake of A Story of Floating Weeds, also by Ozu, which ended with the exact same shot. | |

Several stories in Black Jack ended with the titular character wandering away. Sometimes it was in triumph after a job well done, but more often than not it was in grief after failing to save a patient from some unpredictable fate. | |

The Empire Strikes Back ends with the group broken up, with Han taken prisoner, Lando and Chewie flying off to rescue him, and Leia, C-3PO, and R2-D2 keeping Luke company while he recovers from his injuries. Despite this being the heroes' Darkest Hour, the audience is reminded that all is not lost when the last shot of the movie is the regrouped Rebel Fleet, one of the bigger collections of starships and fighters seen in the franchise up to this point, cruising off into the distance while The Force's Leitmotif plays. | |

Tom and Jerry: The short "Professor Tom" ends with Jerry and the kitten walking down the sidewalk, arm in arm, to the melody of "We're Off to See the Wizard". The short "Texas Tom" has Jerry riding Tom like a horse into the distance. It's a complete inversion of how the two began the cartoon. |

Disney Animated Canon: Aladdin ends with Aladdin and Jasmine kissing while the Magic Carpet flies them into the full moon in the distance. Dumbo ends with a shot of the crows waving goodbye to Dumbo while the train he and his mother are on rides into the distance. The Rescuers ends with a shot of Orville flying into the distance carrying Bernard and Bianca off to another rescue mission. The Rescuers Down Under has a subversion of this, with the heroes riding into the night on the back of a giant eagle before cutting to show Wilbur the Albatross still sitting on the eagle's eggs, as he was instructed to do by Bernard while he went off to rescue the others. Disney's Robin Hood (1973) closes with Robin and Maid Marian riding away in a "Just Married" carriage. Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs has the newly awakened Snow White riding sidesaddle on Prince Charming's white horse, while he leads them on foot toward his golden palace in the distance. |

The original ending of Thelma & Louise would have concluded not with the Thunderbird flying through the air in mid-arc, but continuing to fall end-over-end into the Canyon. As Slocumb walks away from the canyon's edge in disbelief, the final sequence would have been a static shot of the Thunderbird driving away from the camera towards a distant mountain, as B.B. King's "Better Not Look Down" continues playing. The original ending was intended by the producers to suggest that the duo would keep travelling, even after death. | |

Modern Times uses this for a surprisingly upbeat ending. The Tramp and the gamin are at the side of the road at dawn, after they were forced to flee from the truant police. The gamin breaks down and cries in despair. Charlie tells her "Buck up! Never say die! We'll get along." After she flashes him a smile, the film ends with the two of them walking arm-in-arm down the road, the Tramp swinging his rattan cane. | |

The Dragon Waiting by John M. Ford ends with two of the protagonists departing on horseback: "Without any noise, they rode away, and soon were lost to sight." Notably, although the book is in tight-third, and the viewpoint character in the final scene is one of the characters who rides away, on the final sentence the viewpoint changes; there are no other characters there, so there is no sight for the characters to be lost from except that of the audience. | |

Futurama's original Grand Finale played with this trope: Fry and Leela don't walk away together, but Fry's crude hologram interpretation of them does, and it indicates that the two may end up together after all. Similarly, the fourth Big Damn Movie "Into the Wild Green Yonder" ends with Fry and Leela having their first kiss as the Planet Express ship escapes from Zapp Brannigan via a wormhole. Coincidentally, this was intended to be another Grand Finale until Comedy Central picked up the show, and started its run where the movie left off. |

Subverted in Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay. At the end, the protagonists ride away around a bend in the road — and then there is one more sentence about what happened to them around the next bend to make the point that just because the story ends here doesn't mean the characters have nothing left to do. | |

In the final scene of Veronica Mars, Veronica walks away into the rain, signifying the consequences of the series finale being rather crappy (her Dad's facing charges that could land him serious jail time for protecting her, and their primary opponent for her Dad's old job as Sheriff is a corrupt puppet of the Mafia). As the camera pans out, we get the impression that Veronica is upset not only because she inadvertently got her Dad in trouble, but because she knows she'll never change her ways. | |

The Half-Breed ends with a Maybe Ever After version of this. Eponymous half-white, half-Native American protagonist Lo resolves to go away and find a new home somewhere else, his forest home having burned down. Teresa, the friend that Lo saved from arrest, says she's realized that she's in love with him, and will follow him everywhere and stay with him forever. He walks away, and she follows, and the film ends. | |

The Rescuers Down Under has a subversion of this, with the heroes riding into the night on the back of a giant eagle before cutting to show Wilbur the Albatross still sitting on the eagle's eggs, as he was instructed to do by Bernard while he went off to rescue the others. |
